That was one of the first videos I saw when I started thinking about building a 7ish car, and it makes me want to build my car as low as I can (going so far as to measure various barriers like that to make sure I'm under height)

And my plans have already been foiled, i'm going to be in aruba on may 10th

There's no way I'll have my car together by the 8th, but I could theoretically make the May event* *baring anything such as a lack of funds or existence of a social life

Sounds like a rotary to me?

I'm definitely going to hit you up during my build. Right now I'm making negative progress, I was originally working on it as a project for my welding class at VC, but I wanted to keep working on it while I wasn't in class so I started tacking things together with my arc welder at home. Once I started making forward progress, measuring took a backseat to getting that next piece on. Now I get to grind off a bunch of tack welds and refit the front frame and top rails. Luckily common sense took hold before I made anything permanent, but it's still rather frustrating to have to work backwards.

Wow, after reading around the site a bit I feel out of place. Most of the people here seem to have bought kits or complete cars, as I am a 24 year old starving college student, I started with the book and a pile of metal. Now I have the book and a taller pile of metal that could start to look like a car soon. I'm not even a full month into my build yet, so I guess it's reasonable that I don't have everything completed by now. I still need to source a donor car for the misc. bits and pieces I'll need to get anywhere. How many people here started from scratch?
